D'OLIER AND THE KUBLA KHANS
COLONKL IVOLIKK is persistent In his
demand for definition of the scope and
general plan of the Ses (ui-Centennitil. This
Is the foremost subject mi the list for dis
cussion at ihe meeting "f the cposltien
directorate fixed for Frjdny
Most of the directors have bcn enjoying
summer vacations. Wheihc" ihe rrcrentive
pursuits of these officials have allowed them
periods for reflection is net Knwn. Hut if
any constructive pregrnrrs have been
velved, there is no nuestien that Colonel
D'Oller is eager te hear them
The president of the exposition associa
tion has revealed fre1" the very beginning of
his tenure of office little inclination te Imi
tate Kuliln Khan, who did "a stately pleas
ure dome decree."
Oriental potentates fed en h'tiedcw ntvl
the milk of paradise may have been capable
of producing splendors with a mere wave of
the hnnd and without floating leans, organ ergan
ising campaigns, ceiisilting architects and
ngincers. beseeching Legislatures, appoint
ing commissions and stiklng out territorial
claim?.
But Philadelphia is net Xanadu, and
Colonel P'Oher. fortunately, is laboring
under no illusions en that point It is net
dulcimers and seigs of Mount A horn for
which he calls, but a marshaling of realities.
Nobody can leasenabh expect the meeting
en Friday te solve every knotty problem
connected with the fair, but thcreftlienld at
least be some evidence of regard for facts.
Twe years of fancies and word pictures lire
mere than suffieien'. If the fair is merely
te b a figment of the imagination, neither
plans nor funds are retnisite anil each indi
vidual Philadelphiati can project his own
lBien, building the show in Xanadu style
regardless
COMPANY UNIONS ALL RIGHT

The hostility of the Federation of Laber
te the company union is due te the refusal
of members of the union te affiliate them
selves .. ifh the national organization of
union workers They prefer te settle their
disputes through their own committees
rather than te trust their destinies te th

GERMANY STICKS TO SCIENCE
ONE very signlfiunt pn'nt is notleeahl"
in the siimmnn of business done by the
annual fair at Leipzig, !crmany. which has
just closed It is that, in (plte of the almost
utter stagnation in every ether phase of the
buying market, the demand for scientific
books exceeded that of nny previous year.
The one thing above nil ethers that made
Qermanv srih a difficult fee te overcome
during the war was the resources of her
science She seemed limitless in her ability
te bring flit new and terrible mothedt) of
destruction and te inflict untold lessea upon
thfl Allies before they were able te devise
till mere efficient methods for defeating
the attack.
The one thing above nil ethers that hns
made Germany such a difficult commercial
competitor during pence times of the past
Is this same wenlth of scientific resourceful
ness. It hits enabled her te take the Inven
tions of mere rreatlve nations and reduce
them te a basis of specialization and adapta
tion that bus made it nlmest Impossible for
the United States te compete, with her in
the open markets of the world. She has
developed n vast army of skilled mechani
cians whose very numbers have lowered their
wage vnlue and, with "overhead" reduced
te a minimum In her factories, she ban un
dersold us even en our own side of tie
ocean.
Germany may have lest all of her actual
wealth In the war. Hut apparently she is
Intensively pursuing just the same line of
methodical science which set lier apart In
?rtsvnr dayn. Her sclcnce is net creative
t Is rether the genius for analyzing and
adapting the Ideas of mere original minds
tad of spending a lifetime pursuing geme
Ingle phase of n subject until it stands clear
in all its minutest details. This has led
te K nation of what might almost be called
"specialists in the unimportant," se fur
science is concerned; but when these
Hstrlnlista are mobilized under Germany's
ttyrttcm at methodical and painstaking r-
ganlzntlen, Ihc total result can be made most
important, cither In pence or war.
Tlie fnrt tlmt tlii lie 0 of science hns
persisted Is really 11 mere hopeful augury
of her ultimate rehabilitation than a dozen
reparations conferences or the premlb!i of
her present statesmen toward financial and
Industrial reform.
NORMALCY ON THE WAY
IN NATIONAL POLITICS
The Maine Election Indicates That the
Exciting Issues of the Last Eight
Years Have Disappeared
"pilSIKXDS of the Administration In
Washington, unable In think cnnseui
tlvelj for mole than a minute or two !'
en use nf the beating of the tomtems of the
opposition, have been dreading the possi
bility of what (he opposition calls "n
popular uprising" nnd the consequent less
of control of Congress,
Hew s'lght Is the excuse for nny such
feat is Indl.-nt'ed by the result "f the Maine
ele. ten. Of i-eurre. no en' can tell lu
nrtumcc what Is going te happen en the
first Tuesday in November Ittif the elec
tion lu Maine does (, justify nny one In
the otnlusleii that the country is excited
about iitivthlng.
Senater Hale is re-eh-ctcd by a plurality
of nbeut L'T.000 and the four Republican
members of the Heuse also nre elected. In
Democratic years .Maine usually has sent
n Democrat te the Heuso of Representa
tives. The customary Republican plurality In
the State is 20,000 or thereabouts The fact
that this is the plurality this year nun
fairly be Interpreted as Indicating that the
.n'ers who ate normally R"puh!icnn have
wiled the party thket as uunl. .As the
women did net vote in large numbers the
relation nf the plurality te the total vote
Is unchanged
President Harding carried the State by
me-e than Te.OCl) In .IIV.'O. Rut this vn
as c optional ns the plunillij of :;ene by
which Hughes carried It in 1010.
Ne one has expected that the Republi
cans would retain their present majority
of 10-5 in the Heuse This is the biggest
mnjerity that any party ha- had in mere
than seventy-five jcars It was the result
of n reaction against th part' in power
during the war the party which was held
re-penslhle for nil the trdusfrlal troubles
from which the country was suffering. The
nctiteness of that resentment is ihillcd and
P"0ilc are thinking mere reason. ibi.
Then, tee, there is nearly always a !nss
of prcbtlgc of the pnrty In power at the
conciessienal election in the middle of a
presidential term. Cleveland took office
with a Heuse majority of forty-four. That
niajentv fell te seventeen in the middle of
his first term McKinley had a fncndlj
majority of seventv-twe at the beginning
of his tirst term Tills fell te thlity in
i he mid-term election and rose te furtv
seven en his re-election. Then he was ns
sasslnnted and Roosevelt succeeded him.
AVhen Roosevelt was elected his Heu-e ma ma

a Republican majerlt in tne Heu-e of
thlrtj-nine. but at the next election the
Democrats controlled the Heiiee bi sixty

jority of 10;i nnd retired from office with u
hostile majority of fiftr
The Democrats would lile te have history
repe.T Itself nnd mnk" a progressive reduc
tion lu the Republican majority till It dis
appears altogether. They are working te
tnnt end with ail their mlgh. They may
be truMrd te attack the ncurd of the
present Congress and of President Harding.
They haie been making speeches in Wash
ington nnd having them prlnud In the
Congressional Recerd in order that t'le
might nccumu'ate ammunition with v hlch
te niiil.e their ntfrtilt. The Tariff Rill,
however has net been i-i lti'i.:erl b them
mwh mere svere than it his by many of
the Republicans in and out nf Congres Cengres
Rut the country has hud neatly ten years'
experience of n Democratic tariff and It is
in no mood te consent te give the Democrats
a mandate te draft another Tariff H.l!. It
prefers a Republican tariff at the present
time
If has been suffering under Democratic
internal revenue laws and it 1s uwiire tint
the Republicans have amended these luw
in such a way as te relieve the taxpayers
nf trnny burdens, net se many as en nwr
taxed country would llke te get rid of. but
enough te guarantee the geed faith of the
party in power.
Ne partisan capital can l" made by either
side out of the bonus leglslntien, for ir

cr.its and Republicans nlil.e If tie rt -; -dent
should veto the Mil whin il Is tina'lv

have te defend bun nnd the Republicans

If the Democrats charge the Rrpuh'ir imis
with lack of leadership ti Cmgrcss, the
Republicans can reter' th.v the Demerais
have brought forth no legiVimve lenders
better equipped than these who have bcen
functioning en the Republican sti, .
And whatever capital might haie been
made out of the strikes during the summer
will have disappeared before election, for
the fjtrikes ari erdlng nnd the men nr' re
turning te work and the powers of flic Fed
eral Cievernment have net been strained te
ferce n settlement. The strikes nre likely
te b a dead Issue before the end of the
present month.
On the whole, the prospects faier the re
election of a Republican Heufe by the cus
tomary mid-term reduced majority, a re
duction that comes about because of a re
action from the enthusiasm with which the
new President was chosen and because of
the absence of nny outstanding and exciting
issue te call the voters te the polls.
ANOTHER TREATY
TUB negotiation of a new treaty with
Panama recommended te Cengreg by
President Harding Is directly In line with
the systematized progress in Latin-American
nations mads during the present
Administration.
Central American union, at least In eome
form, ban been encouraged by the recent
Important conference en n United States
wnr vessel off Cortnte, Nicaragua. Reeause
chiefly of its peculiar and Intimate position
with regard te our own Government, It Is
unllkely that Panama will become n mem

Varllla Treaty of 10011 and the se-called
Tuft agreement of the following year, we.e
designed primarily with a view te their
effect during the eannl construction period.
Since Hint time, amicable relations have
been re-established with Colombia, the

Panama with permanent establishment in

it Is planned that the new pact will
straighten out certain difficulties, with
regard te laud purchases and v.ilues in the
Canal one and clarify the American rights
of Intel volition,
Paiiiiiii.'iiiians nre snld te be as eager for
the new occemtnodiitioii ns the State
Department authorities in Washington,
who have laid their requests before the
President. Congress Is nsked te abrogate
the old treaties nnd the upper beuse te
ratify a comprehensive substitute, te be
framed possibly by joint commissions
It Isgenuinely te be hoped that the sen
sibilities of the Senule will net be tee deli
cate te stand in the way of the execution of
tills necessary censtnn tlve piegrairt.
THE EXTREME OF QUACKERY
''PI IK Soldiers' Renus RUl emerges from
JL cenference stripped of every shred of
reality. What remains Is a gigantic phan
tasm, a colossal wlll-e'-the-wlsp, wafted
for vote-snaring purposes evr the dismal
swamp of politics.
The feature providing for meeting the expense-estimated
nt 54,000.000.000 from
Interest en the foreign debt lias been elimi
nated. The measure is new totally desti
tute of fund-raising previsions. Millions nre
premised en the security of congressional
verbiage.
Senater Simmen? expresses the view thnt
the lull has been emasculated "te make it
easier for the President te veto if " This
is a transparent admission that congres
sional championship of the World-War
veterans Is spurious, since Mr, Harding has
already declared his opposition te any mens mens
use ignoring the crucial peiut of the case,
the mean" of ruis-ln money.
As matters new stand, the President's
app'evins dgnnture or his "I forbid" is
of about equal futility. What is the differ
ence between n. non-enforceable law and one
which docs net reach the. stntnte books?
Doubtlesn there nie Senators and Repre
sentatives The will presume te scent n dis
tinction. Such legislators, however, are of
the tvpe capable of assigning ten lets in
Mars te politically "deserving" denlrens of
our own planet, providing merely that some
means of inter-spnee communication be de
y ivcd.

Hughes has reeipremied with eulogies of
the Rtnzllinn capacity for preserving Inter
national harmony
The interchange of courtesies lias un
doubtedly been f.lsem but it is a mistnke
te di -miss such evidences of fraternity ns

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
Mrs. Charles Ludlngten Never Wear
led of Well-Doing "When She
8tarted te Help a Persen, She
Never Let Ge"
H.v SAKAII 1). LOWRIE
TIME day after r.he died up in the Adlren-J-
dncliH I was talking with some one who
knew Mrs. Charles Ludlngten very well. He
snld of her a thing thnt has remained In my
mind ever since an being, en the whole,
her distinguishing trnlt.
He snld: "When she once started te help
a person, she never let pe!"
It was thnt "never letting go" In these
who love us nnd te whom we nre nenrly
relaled by tics of love or of kinship that
saves the day for us many a time, from our
thoughtless, Impetuous youth te our most
demanding old age.
Mnny of us have thnt "holding en" nual
lty in n mero er-rcss degree for these we love,
or for thesp who nre our near of Isln, but
very few of ns have n protecting relationship
for our distant kin, let nlene for strangers
whom we have once befriended. We let
such go, en one excuse or another, once the
(plsede of our original interest in them is
past . and vve generally resent being expected
te take them en again for some new neces
sity or because the old one shows a ten
dency net te finish up.
The mere fact thnt our third cousin once
removed or thnt the charity of last year is
still down nnd out does net enthuse us the
second time as It did the first, and even
tually gives most of us a fretted sense cf
being "done." Tha very Interesting reasons
for a pension seem less and lt3 interesting
nnd mere and raore unjustifiable ns the pen
sioner grows expectant en our hands. And
there Is always the geed rcosen that our pen
sion may be spoiling the object of our kind
ness go that often, because we nre bored or
want a new outlet for our interests und can
not manage the old and thn new, or think
that we cannot, we "let go."
WHICH mnkes that characteristic of the
woman whose death mnny persons will
feel poignantly both here nnd In New Yerk
n giver out of the ordinary. She never "let
go.
She had been 111 new for live yea re, and
for n great part of that time compelled te be
away from nil the stir of the Interests that
were very much hers te guide when she was
well. Rut net one of these persons or or
ganizations has suffered because she was a
shut -In In a real sense she was never, te
the day she died, a shut-in. Even te save
her life she could net drop her interest ot et
her watching core for the things thnt had
appealed te her for her steady, generous,
solicitous help.
All the business of thnt help, as well as
the writing or reading of repens, might be
lifted, but her thoughts went en. nnd what
she thought was translated sooner or later
into helpfulness for some one or something
thnt the vvulls of her room or the hedge" of
her garden or the hills that rimmed her view
could net shut out.
I HAD n curious instance of that half a
day after she had died 1 found that
f hoi c was something that I could d that
had te be written nt some length nnd il was
necessnry for me te find a stenographer, or
at least n typewriter.
The village of Snranae is a town nnd I
did net knew where te leek for what I
wanted. Finally I saw nn office marked by
the Red Cress' Insignia nnd 1 went In
there te Inquire I saw In that office'
two typewriting machines, one in nte and
one nn a tuble covered up. I vvas directed
te where n public stenographic office vva sup
posed te be doing business, but se deubl -fullv
that I rather guessed It would he
closed nnd its tvplsl off duty, as It turned out
te he. Se 1 asked te be allowed t" use the
extra machine in the Red Cress office, ex
plaining my linste and ihe urgency of the
mail matter.
The man at the head of the office and the
two clerks weie polite, but fimi that tne
office could net be invaded for such a purpose
as I proposed. And it seemed ns though I
would have te waste valuable time reaching
further when the woman with me said ur
gently. "Rut it is for business concerning
Mrs.'l.udingtnu's death she is writing."
I never saw a quicker change. Every
thing in that office was put at my disposal.
Rut es I sal tbeie writing. I eeuld under
stand why the multiplicity of the demands
en nil three of the force and cm the office
itself made my request mi first thought
tee much of a compllc.'i'ien te be agreed te.
Later the chief of the office cnnie te me
nnd said: "Part of our very flurry here to
day is our own inward despair nt this dentil
If' you could knew what that woman lias
done for us deilv. hourly!"
After all. she had only been In that com cem
munitv two years, and never in its streets.
T doubt if she had been able te see any of
these three workers, but her imagination
had found them out. and understood the
need of the hundreds of cases that thev
handled of the friendless people that e eme up
ie Sai-aiiac te live 'ir die And from tin
first, thev said, she had icon a bulwark te
them They could count upon her "net te
let go.'
WE HAVE se mnny theories nbeut the
perils of pauperizing nnd the dutv we
have for the children nnd the childlike peo
ple thill are deq endent upon us te make
them "stnnd en their own."
When we push them off te sink or swim
we loll ourselves that they must learn sooner
or later, 'md pel haps sooner will be better.
Wc cle net regard ourselves se much a
stewards of what we possess as stewards of
their power of enrning or saving or doing
without. We resent tlielr taking our help
for grained, as though their necessity made
our responsibility, or let us say their weak
ness even had something te de with our
strength in the mind nf the Creater of us
both We net enlv "let go," hut we pn-h
something nway with n sense that what is
ours is ours; as tbeigh we vvere niliiatly,

WILLIAM R. NICHOLSON, JR.
On Enforcement of Laws
RESPECT for the existing laws nndn
Ptrict enforcement of them is one of the
vital elements of the well-being of the roun reun
frv ns well ns for the snfetv of the home,
according te William It. Nichelson, .Ir.,
secretary of the Law Enforcement League,
who declares thnt where the lav" will net
be voluntarily obeyed offenders against them
must be punished te the full extent of the
cede.
"Our league." said Mr. Nichelson, "hns
been in existence about six months and
represents 'rallying pest' for civic decency,
pledging nllegiance te the laws of our
e'euntrv ns represented by the Constitution
of the United States. This enormous task
rests us a moral obligation upon every clcnr
thinklng, law-loving and law-abiding man
and woman.
Opportunities for Service
"During these short but active months
we have accepted many oppeitunities for
service in assisting these in authority te
enforce the laws as we find thev exist en
Ihe stntule lxsik.s of the clt.v. State and
Natien While vve are primarily interested
in following up violations of the national
liquor lnw. vve are ul-ce deeply interested in
seeing te the enfel cement of till laws. Our
organized effort stanch' feur-squnre for that
which represents common decency nnd fur
nisjies necessnry and much-needed protec
tion te life and property. If the Consti
tution is te stand against the forces of evil
in this lawless age, the better element of
citizens must assist these in authority te
fulfill their sworn obligations through moral
support and backing.
"Our league invites citizens te register
information against known vinlnters of nil
lawn and acts in n sort of medium between
the complaining citizen nnd Ihe officials
whose duty It is te see that the laws are
obeyed. In i ast ears many citbens feared
te register complaints directly te the officials
en ucceunt of persecutions und the inability
te accomplish anything single-handed. We
receive this infrirmntlen and place it in the
proper channels for investigation, with
holding the name of the informant when se
desired, thus protecting the person who is
public-spirited enough le de his or her
duty te expose law defiance.
Many Oppeitunities Exist
"That there are plenty of Rich oppor
tunities was forcibly demonstrated bv Mayer
Moere ut n conference in his office en .lulv
,ri with clergymen of various denominations
und public-spirited citizens, when the Mayer
said, as a rrsult of reports by his men
in three police districts, nt least .'00(1 viola
tions of the low were listed, including boot
legging, gambling, disorderly houses, drug
houses nnd drug dealers. The Mayer
inked these present as ie Ihe solution of
these terrifying; conditions and pleaded for
their co-operation in making the city n safe
place in which te live, u co-operation whica
"..is pledged immediately hv all there.
'Wc arc all familiar with the fact that
the results of the war are still with us as
ie lawlessness, and yet it would seem that
the city authorities have net been able te
keep pace with crime nor cope adequately
with existing condition. The economic and
m. titnl crisis brought en by the war has
iiinply brought things te a cllmiu. which,
combined with strikes, lockouts, etc, cer
tainly represent all that is unfavorable te
( ir existing In peace and happiness.
"The fuet that the Stute continues te
Icnse MilnenH te permit them te sell soft
clunks by paying n fee of some $000 Blmply
fiiinihlies them with n clenk of respectability
for what is underneath, n very had situation
se far as respect for the law Is concerned.
Hundreds of casta represent merely an arrest
nnd a rmnll fme for law defiance, producing
hearty laughs ut our laws und their opera
tion. Difficult te Get Convictions
"It is most elifficiilt for the Federal Gov
ernment te secure convictions for liquor
violations when such a hundicup is imposed
ns this high license for saloons, which is a
farce en its face. Se long dm thin law con
tinues In operation it will prove ene of the
worst enemies te the enforcement of the
laws, ns the baloen haw always been n breed
ing place of crime. Mr. Pinchot bus prom prem
ised te try te remedy the present condition
"Our organization of mere than 100,000
members will certainly furnish thn moral
backing te make this possible. We reulli-e
that our power is thnt of u moral agenev,
but if the American citizens would awaken
te what can be accomplished by mere force
of public opinion the battle would be easily
wen. Such strength will convince the nfli".
dais tliut they really represent ihe public
and their duty is Ie fulfill their sworn
obligations te enforce the laws, the very
foundation of our Nnlinn The time hns
come when concrete efforts, must be tuken
te remedy conditions,
Pelltlnil Precedents te Overcome
"The results we have achieved thus f1)r
have been very encouraging, ns the better
class of citizens have seen the necessity for
such vveik and furnished the necessary co
operation. Ne dues are nsked, the l'eague
being supported by voluntary contributions
and, aa no salaries ure paid te officers, tha
expense of operation is net prohibitive,
13, 1922
although some of our publications In lets
effiO.OOO require subsfnnflel funds.
"These publications arc for educational
purposes nnd te offset some of the 'wet'
propaganda. The tnsk before us represents
deep. rooted political precedent, and we feel
that all American citizens should realize
their responsibilities en the question of the
rnioen. which, when privileged te iwll strong
(irinl; had the protection or the police te
keep down bootleggers nnd Illicit manufac
turers of liquor. At the present time this
is a wide-open game, as evidenced bv thn
previously mentioned report of Maver
.Moere.
"We nre firmly convinced that the police)
could regulate crime in a short time. Thev
satisfactorily regulate the nute traffic anil
see tlmt offenders arc made te feel the
pew-er of the law and many ether laws. All
that is really required is te make the police
undeiH and that the retention of their posi
tions depends upon the fulfillment of their
sworn obligations nnd thnt the laws apply
te them nn well us te ethers.
"If this were done It wouldn't be long
until new reports te the Mnyer would net
dare show 5000 violations In three districts.
All that is recpilred is te remove the false
leetn from the law and make nn earnest
effort te clean up vice conditions. Our city
may net be se bad as some ethers, but the
reports te the Mayer certainly prove that
It is far from being above question.
Police Knew a Great Deal
"We told Director Cortelyou months age
that the police knew about everything worth
while in their elistricts, hew people cast
their votes, their religious conviction" and
largely the very reputation of the life of
each. Why. Ihen, is it net possible te knew
the character of eiery heuse nn.l business
plnce and if there is any violations of the
law? If net, hew did such a long nnd sub
stantial lint reacli the hands of Mayer
Moere? It seems te some of us like a
crying sliiune te the citizens of a city like
Philadelphia, with mere than 1,000,00(1
population, te make It necessary for the
liighe'st executive officer of the city te make
n public appeal te citizens feci-' funds te
employ detectives hecniise special funds
available were made impossible te procure
from the controller of the city funds, thus
fin t her I'licemraging law defiance,
"We strongly commend .Iiulge Monaghan
en his startling disclosures, really accom
plished almost hiiigle-haiideil in tlie face of
great dangers and difficulties. He should
be fully supported in every possible way.
It is encouraging te see that ceitiiin ni"mbe'rs
of City Council propose te see that he re
eeives the necessary funds te currv en his
work. Every one should rally te his .support
and help him in his task. Our organization
indorses his real enforcement of the' law
und we only hope that ethers in public office
will attempt te prove as worthy of the honor
their positions represent "
